The trail starts of really gradually so there is plenty of time to warm up. Someone has been in there trimming back some of the overgrowth so the trail is pretty clear.
The big news for us on this trip is that we had a close encounter with a very large and healthy looking cougar at about 4 miles in. It ran the other way when it saw us - we all felt lucky to have seen such a beautiful creature without any repercussions.

A big ol' cougar, that's wild! Did your dog react to the cougar at all?

He ran after him a bit but stopped and came back when I called him back. Thank goodness he has good recall. He came running back to me with an expression on his face like "did you see that!" :)
